World Briefing | Africa: Zimbabwe: New Charges For 4 Journalists

One day after a judge dismissed charges against four journalists, the police filed new charges against the men, newspaper officials said. The police charged the journalists with publishing subversive material, which carries a maximum prison sentence of five years. The journalists, who work for The Daily News, Zimbabwe's only independent daily newspaper, were first arrested on Wednesday after the newspaper reported that militants had used police cars during the recent looting of white-owned farms.
